1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
In this age of so phisticated pr ocess control con -
cepts, many people are taking advantage of the lat-
est b reakthroughs in technology to up grade the ir
own equipment and systems. The Milton Roy Elec-
tronic Capacity Control (ECC) easily interfaces with
computerized process and process instruments, as
the ECC will adjust the output of a metering pump
from 0% to 100% in response to a 4 to 20 milliamp
or 1 to 5 VDC sig nal from a co mputer or othe r
source. This outstanding feature can be purchased
as an integral part of the pump, or it can be bought
separately and field installed. The ECC mounts to
the housing of the pump and operates in place of
the manual stroke adjustment.
1.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The ECC allo ws remote adjustment of th e volume
of liq uid d elivered b y the metering p ump. Th is is
accomplished by utilizing a 4-20 mA command sig-
nal from a Milton R
oy Remote Panel Mount
(ARPM-100/200) or Remo te Wall Mo unt ( ARWM-
100/200) remote controller (manual 3390021000),
or a c ustomer’s cont rol system. I n a closed loop
control system, the ECC a ccepts the com puter or
controller 4- 20 m A sig nal d irectly an d p rovides
immediate and accurate control of the pump flow
under varying process conditions.
When th e ECC re ceives the 4- 20 m A co mmand
signal, the dr ive mo tor responds by mo ving the
ECC to the required position. As the ECC moves, it
changes th e position of the pu mp’s str oke ad just
shaft, thus altering the pump’s flow rate. Refer to
Table 1 wh ich list s r eference ma nuals containing
information on the stro ke ad just shaf t a nd pump
operation.
If th e pu mp flow r ate n eeds to be m onitored, th e
ECC then communicates its position by outpu tting
a nominal 4-20 mA or (1-5 VDC) signal. This signal
can be inter cepted an d tr anslated b y an ARPM-
100/200 or ARWM-100/200 or other user supplied
equipment to display the current ECC position.
